Best Irish Website

Seth Brundle

What do you think is the Irish Website with the best design and why?

I know I should add in my own opinion but Im still thinking!

I stumbled across this site yesterday and ended up adding it to my bookmarks. I thought it was very clean, well laid out and looked professional. Not cluttered like other big property sites, e.g. myhome, etc.

Other Irish site designs I like:

Spoilt Child - www.spoiltchild.com
All Alan's work is pretty cool, especially his own site

The Design Tribe - www.thedesigntribe.com
I like the tick on the menu to show visited pages and general layout / colour scheme.

Ireland.ie - www.ireland.ie
I suppose the easy to use navigation and well laid out content attracts me to this site.

Would be interested to see other ppls favourites.

I'll throw in a few sites I designed... clean and simple is my motto!

I hate sites like Ireland.ie. Too much information on the screen!

I like the simplicity of your sites but it can't work for all sites. Some sites need a bit more colour and imagery to look good! Your sites seem to fit well though!

As a matter of interest - how are pulling the search results from the different portals, e.g. loadzajobs.ie? You can PM me if you like as not to hijack this thread!

Hey,

Just looked at your dole.ie site. Its got a very nice and clean design alright. Just a sudjestion though, when i went to the site first off it took me a bit of looking around to find out what the site was for. Maybe a bit of info text would help?

Tag line... "get off the net and the dole... do a job search now!!!"

Ahh... interesting. I never thought of that! Thanks for pointing it out

Basically, I do what Google do - I have spiders which crawl around their sites looking for new jobs. They're smart and extremely lightweight so they don't affect the different jobsites' server performance at all really...
